In 1878 concerned citizens decided to address this problem, and formed a Hospital Fund Committee with elected Trustees. Permission was given in May 1879 for a temporary hospital to be situated in Ward 2 of the Immigration Barracks in Finemore Park, opposite today’s Base Hospital. At the same time, according to the Bundaberg Daily News, “3 acres, 3 roods has been permanently reserved for a hospital site.” Plans went ahead to build a permanent Hospital, and in 1880 the tender to build was awarded to Mr Midson, with construction completed in February 1881. Known as the Cottage Hospital, it was a four-room timber cottage, with a kitchen and separate Kanaka ward. In 1898, almost twenty years after the foundation of the first Hospital, the question of a hospital to meet the a growing population was raised by the Hospital Committee. At the time, most surgical cases of any complexity were sent to Brisbane, and the Committee felt it was time to “raise the status of the institution so that a wide range of surgical cases could be undertaken.” This also meant a staff of trained nurses would need to be engaged, and Mr. J.C.Walker, then-Secretary of the Committee proposed that the hospital should be a training school for nurses as well. While an operating the theatre was erected in the existing building, the cost of rebuilding older parts of the Hospital lead to the idea of commissioning plans for a larger Hospital built in brick.
